  • 22 people are interested

Shepherd's Clinic and Joy Wellness Center is a nonprofit that provides free, integrative healthcare to residents of Baltimore City that do not qualify for government insurance and cannot afford to pay for commercial insurance. We are looking for people interested in working with people one-on-one to help them to navigate the health insurance enrollment process. Insurance Counselors meet with patients to help them to apply for and enroll in Medicaid, if they are eligible, or a Qualified Health Plan that best meets their needs. Prior to working with patients, Volunteer Insurance Counselors go through online training provided by the Maryland Health Benefits Exchange to become Certified Application Counselors. Further training and orientation is provided on site as well.
